Ramadan Iftar Program

The IFL Foundation is committed to supporting underprivileged communities around the world during the holy month of Ramadan through its Ramadan/Iftar Program. This initiative aims to provide essential support and assistance to individuals and families in need, ensuring that they have access to nutritious meals and necessities during Ramadan, particularly during the time of breaking the fast, known as Iftar. One of the primary ways the IFL Foundation assists in the Ramadan/Iftar Program is by organizing Iftar meals and distribution events in partnership with local communities, mosques, and charitable organizations. These events bring together volunteers and community members to prepare and distribute nutritious meals to individuals and families in need, including refugees, orphans, widows, and other vulnerable populations. By providing hot meals and breaking the fast together in a communal setting, the foundation fosters a sense of unity, solidarity, and compassion within the community and ensures that everyone can participate in the blessings of Ramadan. Moreover, the IFL Foundation supports initiatives that provide food assistance and essential supplies to underprivileged communities throughout the month of Ramadan. This may include distributing food baskets, grocery vouchers, and hygiene kits to families in need to help them meet their basic needs during the fasting month. Additionally, the foundation may partner with local food banks, supermarkets, and businesses to source and distribute food items and essential supplies to ensure that everyone has access to nutritious meals and essential items during Ramadan. In addition to providing immediate food assistance, the IFL Foundation assists in the Ramadan/Iftar Program by supporting initiatives that promote sustainable solutions to food insecurity and poverty. This may include investing in community-based agriculture projects, food banks, and income-generating activities that empower individuals and communities to become self-sufficient and resilient. By promoting sustainable livelihoods and economic empowerment, the foundation helps break the cycle of poverty and dependence and build long-term resilience in underprivileged communities. Furthermore, the IFL Foundation facilitates zakat and sadaqah donations from individuals and organizations around the world to support its Ramadan/Iftar Program and other charitable initiatives. Zakat, an obligatory form of charity in Islam, and sadaqah, voluntary charitable giving, are used to provide financial assistance to those in need, including food assistance, healthcare, education, and shelter. By mobilizing zakat and sadaqah donations, the foundation ensures that resources are directed to where they are needed most and maximizes the impact of charitable giving during Ramadan. Moreover, the IFL Foundation collaborates with local mosques, Islamic centers, and community organizations to identify and support individuals and families in need of assistance during Ramadan. Community leaders and volunteers play a crucial role in identifying vulnerable households, assessing their needs, and coordinating the distribution of food and aid. By working closely with local partners, the foundation ensures that assistance reaches those who need it most and that resources are distributed in a fair, transparent, and culturally sensitive manner. In conclusion, the IFL Foundation’s Ramadan/Iftar Program plays a crucial role in supporting underprivileged communities around the world during the holy month of Ramadan. Through its initiatives to provide food assistance, essential supplies, and financial support, the foundation ensures that everyone has access to nutritious meals and necessities during Ramadan, fostering a sense of unity, compassion, and solidarity within the community. By promoting sustainable solutions to food insecurity and poverty and mobilizing zakat and sadaqah donations, the foundation empowers individuals and communities to build brighter futures for themselves and their families.
